In 2017 in Senate Estimates, Chief Scientist Alan Finkel was asked: "If the world was to reduce its carbon emissions by 1.3% - approx Aust's rate of emissions- what impact wld that make on the changing climate of the world? His response - the impact would be virtually nothing!

@JohnCleese @WhosFibbing Fear?

Missing the point completely If the majority of Muslims - the non-radical ones - are not in favour of radical Islam, could some of them start speaking out and saying so What is the reason why they are not doing this ?

@netz_melb @margmopp This socialist lunatic must go. Our flag is who we are.

@cjoye @margmopp Think Australia’s resources sector. About to be hit with a raft of new taxes - then along came the fuel crisis - it became a key leverage point to secure fuel supply. Chalmers admitted the neg gearing and cgt were only considered weeks before Budget. Golden goose killing season.

Excellent view. But I have zero faith with Labor and Green. Ideologically, they do not and cannot value founders. This is made worse with tall poppy syndrome, especially with their voters base. This is not something that can be fixed by merely educating. I truly fear for this country's future if Labor manage to hang onto power in the next election. They would continue to strengthen their power base through higher migration and getting more people to rely on social welfare and handouts. They can easily promote that the opposition will destroy your family by taking them away. Everyone vote for their own self interest. It is only until the country suffer enough (i.e. like Argentina before Milei) then when enough people demand a change. And collectively willing to suffer short term major pain for this.

💯 Sweden tried Socialism in the 70s-80s and it failed catastrophically Why? Power law / Pareto principle: A small percentage of people and innovators create most of the value and tax revenue (e.g., top 1% of US earners pay ~38% of federal income taxes; top 10% pay ~70%). High taxes and heavy redistribution distort incentives, reduce innovation, and trigger capital flight and tax migration (examples include wealthy people leaving France after wealth taxes and net taxpayer outflows from high-tax US states like New York). Large welfare states require a healthy ratio of net contributors to recipients and work best in small, high-trust, relatively homogeneous societies. They are much harder to sustain in large, diverse countries.

Some aspects of this Budget, particularly where it seeks to attack “capital or investment” and directly contrast capital with labour are straight Marxist thinking. Period. They genuinely believe it’s a class struggle between investors (capital) and workers (labour). I mean they are introducing the “Workers Tax Offset” - an offset not based on income level but whether you draw a salary or are a sole trader. It’s class war bollocks which is why they can’t defend it under questioning - because it’s ideology dressed as tax policy.

"Tax policy communicates values. This budget signals that founders are not viewed as partners in national prosperity, but simply reservoirs of revenue whose success is viewed with suspicion..."

This is so incredibly good: Economist Joseph Schumpeter warned that capitalism weakens when prosperous societies become so comfortable they forget where prosperity came from – and begin resenting the entrepreneurial class that created it. A country might survive high taxes for periods of time. What becomes dangerous is something deeper: the moral suspicion of ambition itself. The creeping belief that commercial success is inherently exploitative, that profit is morally dubious, or that founders should quietly accept punishment for surviving years of uncertainty. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Treasurer Jim Chalmers should think carefully about the signals embedded in this budget. Tax policy communicates values. This budget signals that founders are not viewed as partners in national prosperity, but simply reservoirs of revenue whose success is viewed with suspicion... Civilisation advances because some people are willing to bet on tomorrow before tomorrow exists. Australia should be doing everything possible to encourage those people to build businesses here. Because once a society begins treating ambition as something suspect rather than admirable, it eventually discovers that no nation can remain prosperous after teaching its most ambitious people that they are unwelcome. afr.com/politics/feder…

The WHO knew Hantavirus was too weak for a global pandemic. only Canada and Australia would have been duped into playing those Covid lockdown games again They moved to Ebola and declared it a global health emergency. WHO is a terrorist organisation run by a former terrorist

** An open letter to @AlboMP ** Dear Prime Minister Albanese, Let’s get one thing clear: women are adult human females. You know it, I know it, you even said it in the lead up to the last election when asked “what is a woman” by Piers Morgan. But we have a big problem. I’m sure you have heard, last week, the Federal Court delivered its judgment in Giggle v Tickle, the “what is a woman” legal case that has been fighting in federal court for the past four years. To put it very simply, there are two sides to this case: women, adult human females, who want to ensure that woman is a single-sex category in law and women & girls have access to single sex spaces. The other side, which includes your human rights commission, insists that men who claim to be women are women in the eyes of the law. The full Federal Court sided with the man who claims to be a woman. Yes. A male won the “what is a woman” court case. Giggle v Tickle has turned Australia into an international laughing stock. This decision is seismic. It means women cannot run women-only businesses for women. It confirms that the ordinary meaning of sex has been twisted beyond recognition. It means men can be women in law. The Australian Human Rights Commission, captured by ideology, has weaponised the sex discrimination act against women, the very demographic it was enacted to protect. They’ve even argued in court that men who claim to be women need pregnancy protections. They’ve pushed the view that sex is a spectrum, changeable, and that anyone objecting is the bigot. Is this something you agree with? Do you, Mr Prime Minister, think men need pregnancy protections in the law? And there are real-world stakes here: Girls at school are holding their bladders all day, refusing to drink water, because boys who claim to be girls are in their bathrooms and they don’t want them there. Women prisoners are locked in cells with male sex offenders who simply “identify” as women. Female athletes are losing podiums, matches and safety. This isn’t inclusion - it’s the demise of women’s rights. Prime Minister, some of your ministers say, “we need to protect trans rights”. With all due respect, sir, your government can protect so called trans rights without stripping rights from women and girls. Every other citizen manages to exist without demanding access to the opposite sex’s protected spaces. Why not try to get “trans rights” without destroying the rights of women and girls? Have you ever even tried?  The fact that Labor hasn’t even mentioned Giggle v Tickle and women’s rights - while Liberals, Nationals, and One Nation politicians speak out - tells us everything. This week has been silence from the Labor Party. No trans visibility day parades on this one. No pride posts. Why? What don’t you want Australians to know? You boast about your 50 per cent women in cabinet. Good for you - you can accurately recognise what a woman is when it suits you. But the rest of us aren’t allowed to without fear of punishment. And can I ask, if you filled that cabinet with 50 per cent trans women, would you still call it equality between men and women? Think about that. While the UK, the United States and even New Zealand are waking up, rolling back the nonsense and restoring sanity and realizing that gender ideology is a failed experiment, your government is turning Australia into the laughing stock of the world. “Giggle v Tickle” isn’t just a punchline overseas - it’s proof Australia is upside down. I want to tell you something really important: If you will lie about something as obvious as men being women, we can assume you will look us in the eye and lie about everything.  Tell the truth. Fix the Sex Discrimination Act. Reinstate clear biological, accurate definitions of man and woman. Protect women, girls and single-sex spaces. Actually do something. Because, at the moment, Mister Prime Minister, I’m doing your job for you.

Jacinta Allan has banned the Australian flag from the uniforms of prison officers as she says the flag is "divisive". However, the Aboriginal and rainbow flags are not banned as she says those flags are "inclusive". This madness must stop. #springst #BendigoBarbie

500kV transmission lines carved through the Great Dividing Range, national heritage landscapes & koala habitat, with not a single confirmed project ready to connect to them. Chris Uhlmann’s visit to Walcha has shone a national spotlight on what locals have warned for months: reckless environmental destruction, community division & energy insecurity for infrastructure with NO PLAN.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 👇🏽😡

Net zero will never work. Today we announced that we would oppose multi billion net zero transmission lines ripping up farmland in Victoria. That will never work because we can't just rely on weather dependent weather. Victoria tonight getting 70% of its power from coal and gas. Just 5% from wind.

The government’s plan to tax capital gains at 30 per cent will harm young Australians rather than help them buy homes. Read more: bit.ly/4dyhmyM

@LyleShelton @Ticcer Strange how they're always hectoring us to "follow the science" re global warming, but turn their back on science completely when it comes to defining what a woman is.

@margmopp @LyleShelton They wouldn't know science if it smacked them in the forehead. It's all monkey see. monkey do with these people.

You can’t go anywhere without hearing pure hatred for Albanese. The man is a pathological liar. We are being governed by a mob of untrustworthy frauds who view everyday Australians with absolute contempt. The total combined net expenditure for Anthony Albanese, Chris Bowen, Penny Wong, and Jim Chalmers for the January to March 2026 quarter is $2,254,256.07. $2.254 million on the credit card in 3 months between these leeches.
